Re: MT5 tick and bar data - do you need both?
Thanks, I will look into it. Also, When exporting data I'd like to be able to select multiple symbols by Ctrl-click and then download All available data for each symbol. Unless I am mistaken at the moment if I try this I get the amount of available data for the first symbol I select. Also, is there ...

MT5 tick and bar data - do you need both?
Hi, In your MT5 download tutorial videos you download both 1 min bar data and tick data. You then load this into an MT5 custom symbol. My question is if you want to just test using tick data do you need to load the 1min OHLC bar data? My guess is no you don't but if you can confirm that would be gre...

Re: Spread output for 1 minute OHLC bar data (Minimum bar spread)
Good evening, Yes you have understood and that is what I was expecting. Another option that would be useful would be to use the mean, which is probably a better estimate than using the minimum. Therefore I would request the addition of: MinBarSpread MeanBarSpread and MinBarSpreadInt MeanBarSpreadInt...

Re: Spread output for 1 minute OHLC bar data (Minimum bar spread)
Hi, Thanks for the reply. I'm referring to the last value in the MT5 bar csv file which you have told me before is based on the BarMaxSpreadInt token. I asked on the MQL5 forum and with Darwinex broker about how they are calculating the spread for use with the 1minute OHLC data. This was the respons...

Spread output for 1 minute OHLC bar data (Minimum bar spread)
Hello, After some research I’ve found that the spread values exported by BarMaxSpreadInt are quite conservative as it’s the maximum spread that occurred during the bar. Data from MetaQuotes and the broker I use both take the minimum spread in the bar. Is there a way of outputting this token and mayb...

Re: Problem with GBR.IDX (UK100) MT5 export.
Thanks, I will do some comparison tests. The spread values just look ridiculously high for the 1 minute data to me. I will download the raw tick data to investigate further.
Thanks,
Ed
Thanks,

Re: Problem with GBR.IDX (UK100) MT5 export.
Hello, Thank you for replying so swiftly. I didn't mention in my OP that I am trying to download 1 minute bar data and not tick data. Can you see if you are getting unusually large spreads for the 1 minute bar data when selecting the output format Metartrader 5 bar format ? Many thanks for looking i...

Problem with GBR.IDX (UK100) MT5 export.
Hi, I have recently upgraded and downloaded the GBR.IDX data for MT5. All seemed to work OK but the spreads seem huge - In the order of thousands when they should be single digits. Am I doing something wrong? I've compared the data with the data provided by my Broker (Darwinex) and they are 3 orders...
